From the Armory Party at MoMA to the New York International Antiquarian Book Fair, there's something for everyone this week
8. “2020 Invitational Exhibition of Visual Arts” at the American Academy of Arts and Letters
This year, more than 150 artists were nominated by members of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, an honorary society of architects, artists, composers, and writers, for the organization’s annual show. There are some impressive names—both emerging and established—among the 28 who made the final cut, including Henry Taylor, Janiva Ellis, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Betye Saar, Sheila Hicks, Diana Al-Hadid, and Arthur Jafa. If you’ve never visited the academy, it’s worth the trip uptown.
